The button came under scrutiny after a 16-year old went home and complained to daddy. Something tells me that no matter what message the teachers were conveying, it wasn't going to sway this girls vote either way. Why? SHE'S ONLY 16! At least teachers are letting students know the importance of becoming involved in the election. Wearing a button is less harmful than preaching politics. Were teachers allowed to support the Lakers during the playoffs last year? Or did one Boston family get offended at that too?
